43 ha Farm in Darling

Discover an exceptional 43-hectare lifestyle farm in Darling, offering a rare combination of luxury country living, agricultural productivity, natural beauty and long-term investment potential.

Situated approximately 60 minutes from Cape Town and within easy reach of Darling, Malmesbury and the Cape Winelands, this private rural retreat offers the tranquillity of country living without sacrificing accessibility.

At the heart of the property is a substantial 420 m2 Cape Dutch-inspired residence, completed in 2018 and designed around its spectacular north-facing outlook. The distinctive H-shaped layout creates separate private and entertainment areas, with generous living spaces, excellent natural light and a seamless connection between the home and surrounding landscape.

The property is completely off-grid, supported by a solar power system and reliable water infrastructure, including a borehole producing approximately 2,300 litres per hour, water storage, a private dam and a seasonal stream. This provides an exceptional level of self-sufficiency and water security.

The farm has a proven agricultural and lifestyle track record, with previous and existing activities including winter grain and canola production, cattle farming, cut flowers, microgreens and Airbnb accommodation operated from the eastern wing of the residence. This versatility makes the property well suited to a range of uses, from a private family estate to an agricultural enterprise, boutique hospitality venture or eco-tourism destination.

Nature is an integral part of the property, with rolling farmland, panoramic Darling views, an indigenous forest, private dam and seasonal watercourse creating a peaceful and highly private setting.

Adding further strategic value, approximately 18 hectares of the northern portion of the property falls within the Swartland Municipality Urban Edge and has been identified for Rural Residential development in the approved Swartland Spatial Development Framework SDF 2023. Previous planning processes have been undertaken, with supporting planning reports, correspondence and documentation available to interested parties. While all future development remains subject to the necessary statutory approvals, this provides an important long-term opportunity for prospective buyers.

This is a rare opportunity to secure a highly improved 43-hectare holding combining a luxury residence, off-grid infrastructure, agricultural potential, significant water security, natural assets and recognised planning potential, all within easy reach of Cape Town.
